Abstract

The Anthropocene, and the concurrent awareness that life develops on planetary scales of time and our species is dependent on a habitable planet, seems to call for major revisions in our ethical and political views such as to register how thoroughly we are shaped by nature, that is, biology and physics. At the same time, among the most disputed questions in public and private life are those related to our gender, sexual, and racial differences and identities. This volume asks about the relevance of Nietzsche’s thought for contemporary debates on conceptions of nature, ecological movements, and political activism. This volume also explores how Nietzsche’s writings foster cultural-aesthetic approaches to flora, fauna and non-living matter, anticipations of “naturecultures” as well as contemporary debates in Animal, Plant and Posthuman studies. As a thinker of nature, Nietzsche advocates for a re-naturalisation of the human being. This book invites to consider how Nietzsche’s task has been understood as an invitation to approach embodiment as an occasion for the critique of power, for dismantling hierarchical binarism and open subjectivity to practices of care of self.
